The Smallest Minority (Independent Thinking in the Age of Mob Politics)

Kevin D. Williamson—the lively, literary firebrand from National Review who was too hot for The Atlantic—comes to bury democracy, not to praise it, in his irrepressibly readable new book, The Smallest Minority: Independent Thinking in the Age of Mob Politics. Funny, profane, and profound, Williamson takes a flamethrower to “the beast with many heads”—mob politics, on social media and what passes for real life—that is dragging us down “the Road to Smurfdom, the place where the deracinated demos of the Twitter age finds itself feeling small and blue.”

With biting appraisals of social media (“an economy of little Willy Lomans”), political hustlers (“that certain kind of man or woman… who will kiss the collective ass of the mob”), journalists (“a contemptible union of neediness and arrogance”), and identity politics (“identity is more accessible than policy, which requires effort”), The Smallest Minority is a defiant, funny, and terrifyingly insightful book about what human beings have done to ourselves.

“Williamson is something fairly rare in U.S. media: an explicit, unrepentant elitist.” — Slate
